Uganda Cup: Vipers SC eliminate Busoga United, URA advance after slim win over Mbarara City

Vipers SC have advanced to the Uganda Cup Round of 16 after defeating Busoga United 2-1 at Fufa Technical Centre in Njeru on Friday.

Yunus Ssentamu and Lawrence Tezikya struck in either half for the Venoms while the hosts got a goal through Isaac Wagoina. As a result, the reigning Ugandan Premier League champions have advanced 5-1 on aggregate after a 3-0 win in the first leg.

On Friday, the hosts came into the match hoping to overturn the 3-0 deficit suffered in the initial meeting at the St Mary's Kitende owing to goals from Caesar Manzoki, who scored a brace, and Ibrahim Orit.
